Love the cookware. I wanted to get away from non stick materials so I read a lot about using Tramontina's stainless steel before trying it. I purchased a single fry pan first to try it out. Followed directions on how to use and clean it and I was very pleased. I used several kinds of oils to fry a variety of things as I tested out the pan. Scrambled eggs stuck once I started moving them around but I expected that. Clean up from the eggs was a breeze, didn't expect that. I use gas so the bottom of the pan got messy. Bar Keepers Friend worked to clean off the mess. Bought the 14-piece set and have already used most of the pieces, all with great results. Gave a 4 because two of the lids were damaged out of the box, small dents that haven't interfered with using them but disappointing. The price was a great find. Overall, I love the cookware.

This set is an excellent value and perfect for someone just starting out. It compares quite favorably with the All Clad D3 set which costs 3x more. This set also contains extra pieces - The 11 inch frypan and the steamer insert - which are not normally included in the sets except if you buy it from Sam’s Club. This is made in Brazil and I think anyone would be pleased to have the set. The only thing I would caution you on is to check the set carefully when you receive it - one of my lids was damaged in shipment. Tramontina features an excellent warranty on their products.

I needed to replace my hodgepodge of pots and pans with something nice and nontoxic. I did my research and decided on this set. It has everything I need included. I don’t really need all 3 skillets but all sets come with skillets. The skillets don’t have lids of their own, but other lids in the set fit the 8” and 10” skillets. The lids fit snugly. Tramontina is an established brand that is Brazilian. This set is made in Brazil. They make other sets in China, which come with glass lids. They are the manufacturer for Members Mark sets, too. Everything came well packaged with no damage or blemishes. The box was HEAVY. I learned to cook with various metal pots and pans, then made the mistake of switching to nonstick before the toxicity was widely known. I now need to get used to the difference in cooking techniques for uncoated cookware again. So far, so good. The pans heat evenly and retain heat well. I have a good quality enameled nonstick deep saute pan from Tramontina that I am still using for foods that stick, like eggs and cheese sauces, at least until I’m more confident with these. Remember that stainless steel is not nonstick. You must preheat and use oil to prevent sticking. Also important is that if you are boiling pasta never to put salt in until after it boils. It will cause pitting of the inside bottom that can’t be fixed. Any stains or discoloration that doesn’t wash off easily can be removed with Barkeepers Friend, including the rainbow marks that come from using high heat. I am very happy with this set. Testers have reviewed it as being a high quality, less expensive alternative to the brands that get the most attention. It has a lifetime manufacturer warranty if it’s needed, but I doubt I will need it. This particular set is exclusive to Sam’s and I really love the pieces that were chosen. There is a pot or pan for any need. Including the steamer is great for me because I prefer to steam, rather than boil, vegetables. If you understand what you’re buying, you will love the quality and value of this set.

These pots and pans look and feel great. They seem to take longer to heat up than the old tephlon pans they replaced and don't hold the heat well. They scar easy and small rust spots have started to show after only the first wash.

Great cookware for induction cooktops, fantastic finish. Easy to clean, remember follow instructions! We tried two other cookware sets from other companies that claimed to work for induction cooktops, be prepared for trial and error.

I am so happy with this set of pans! Exactly what they described and easy to use. Do yourself a favor and buy some Barkeepers Friend. The pans clean up so nicely and always oil them so food doesn't stick. A little practice and you will love them

This cookware is simply outstanding. It is so well made and so easy to clean with pure hot water and a green scrub cloth. It never sticks and cooking on low-medium heat ensures your food never burns and always cooked to perfection.

I am very satisfied. The set conducts heat very well. As long as you preheat the steel for 2 minutes, add little oil, EGGS DON'T STICK. The rest of the food is a breeze to cook. They are easy to clean

Bought these for my son’s new apartment and the worked pretty good so far. Only complaint is when washes they still had like a “heat stain” but when we used Barkeeper’s Friend it cleaned up and looked new again

nothing to dislike. learned quickly how to heat %26 use high temp cooking oil with fry pans. clean up is easy and everything I cook from eggs to steak is great. The key to everything is being careful with the heat. I use low to medium with gas flame and never above medium and can sear a steak perfectly before using the same pan in the oven to finish to preferred temp. Leave pan cool completly before cleaning %26 dry immediatly. Thats all there is. Patients is the key. This company makes pans in Brazil and China so make sure you order the pans with solid lids. These are made in brazil with Steel made in brazil while I understand the pans with glass lids are made in china.
